This barbering event was to showcase some of the best Barbers work from all over the country. I was lucky enough to be hired by Ruger Barber to be the Photographer for the event and travel to London for the day, you can see me above the 'UK BARBER' lettering in the image above.
The event was a collaboration of creative minds meeting up to share and network their work which, as a graphic designer, I found extremely inspiring. It was an opportunity to speak to other photographers and creative people and create contacts in the creative industries. After discussing the event with some of the barbers I found that they had all met using social networking sites and came from across the globe with some barbers from America and Canada attending the small event. It is amazing to think what the power of social networking can be when utilizing it to your advantage. Even though it was a barbering event, it was an opportunity to meet someone who could possibly want photoshoot or a logo designing which underlines the importance of attending creative events no matter what they are. This society of creative minded people can be translated across and can be related to collaborating with illustrators, photographers and animators as a graphic designer in a community.
I have included some shots from the day below
